Behind The Awkwardness

“My sister and I thought it might be a good idea to have our kids’ photos taken as a Christmas present for my mom. With two hungry, tired newborn babies and a bored 3 year old, it was quite possibly the worst day of our lives. This was the best pic we could get of all three of them.”

“When my father got remarried after my parent’s divorce, my mother went through the family albums and cut him out of all of the family photos. Using scissors to behead him became too labor intensive, so she switched to white-out. This one is a photo of my mother and my father on a scooter.”

“My older step-sisters had given me this shirt that I never understood at the time but because they gave it to me, I loved it. I realized many years later what the shirt meant and then started remembering the looks I would get from teachers & adults when I wore the shirt. Why they allowed me to wear it as my Grade 7 class picture, I’ll never know but I’ve got a great story as the result of it.”
